The Town of Hubbardston is in the hill country of central Worcester County.
The first European settlers were recorded in 1737, and the town's early
economy was based on agriculture and small scale chair, boot and shoe
manufacturing. Hubbardston was sympathetic to Shays Rebellion and one of
the leaders of the rebellion, Captain Adam Wheeler, was from Hubbardston.
Eighty men from the town marched to Worcester under Wheeler's command and
took control of the courthouse to protest the widespread foreclosures and
seizures of property by creditors that occurred during the cash poor 18th
century.
The community is described by historians as being a poor town, sparsely
settled and almost wholly agricultural, but having sawmills, potash works
and cottage industries such as the making of palm leaf hats. By the 19th
century, dairy and berry farming and market gardening were major pursuits
in the town, and immigrants from Ireland, French Canada, England, Sweden
and Russian Finland had moved into town to work with earlier settlers.
Even in 1940, Hubbardston had a rural population of 55.9%, the second
highest in the county.
Central Massachusetts, bordered by Gardner and Westminster on the northeast,
Princeton and Rutland on the southeast, Barre on the southwest, and Phillipston
and Templeton on the northwest. Hubbardston is 19 miles northwest of Worcester
and 56 miles northwest of Boston.
